The Challenger expedition was a pioneering scientific mission that explored the oceans and collected a vast amount of data about marine biology, geology, and oceanography. This volume, edited by Charles Wyville Thomson, presents the botanical findings of the expedition, including descriptions of new species and detailed analyses of marine plant life. With numerous illustrations and maps, this book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of marine science and exploration.
